I'll definitely gonna be adding to this thread at some point. I've a couple TRs that I've been putting off too..but I figure through procrastination, I'll have stoke to share all through August.

My contribution: Longer, and slightly fluffier then BG's post, but hopefully you find it fun, and it can contribute to the stoke. Oh powder, how I miss you.



Riders included by amout of appearance: Summersgone, Skatebananas, JCMarechal, Washwood, Bones Get Broke, Splitrippin

Sorry its so long, I found it hard to drop things that were so fun from the editing block. My original plan was to be around 5 minutes, but I stared editing with friends and family in mind, so it made it longer. Maybe I'll try a sb.com edit thats <5 minutes, but it looks like the weather is nice again.

not me but this is good.

Summersgone, that was fucking sick! I now have a powder boner at work.
I hope you guys will let this tourist tag along this winter.

Great edit SG!

ok, who bit it after their air in the follow me cam?

and rico, watch closer around 3:15 and it should take care of that boner.

Thanks guys!

The follow cam fall was done by Washwood, but all other falls by yours truely. It was a common joke of the winter that it wasn't a tour until I ate shit. My opinion is, if your falling, your not trying!

Glad someone noticed the 3:15 part. Best part was the skier had no idea until the next day when we showed him the footage.

And Rico, your always welcome to come in, would love to show you around. There will also be a Silverton Splitfest around end of march / april next winter, so all are invited to that.

damn good work fellas.

bg- thanks for starting this. great style loved the mini chutes at the beginning.
sg- nice vid man. funny how good intentions to make a short vid turn long. my opinion is if you like the footage you got, use it. I watched the first couple minutes in one sitting and I just watched the rest now and i'm glad all of it was in there so I could get two doses of stoke.

Um, yeah! Nice work fellas! I'm in need of a pow fix bad!

As you may have heard we had a pretty dry winter in Europe this year!

I live in a small ski village in France and, while most of the season there's loads of shreddable terrain around and you can nearly always find a bit of pow to yourself, during the February holidays it feels like the whole world descends on our little town for a month. Add to that the limitted snow we got this year and we had half of Paris all trying to ski down the few runs that were open on the bullet proof artificial snow that they made everywhere. Not fun!

Luckilly for me I've got a splitboard and all the Parisians don't know how to walk let alone ski so here's a little edit I put together of a couple of days on my favorite mountain.

I work in a hotel so the February holidays mean that we're pretty busy, however I managed to slot into a routine this year where I went to work for a couple of hours in the morning, then with 3 hours off at lunchtime I could jump on the bus, fight my way through the queue for the chair, strap on my split and get a couple of powder laps in before heading back down to work.

Hope you like it!



Due to the lack of snow our season finished pretty early so I'm deffinitely missing the powder and extremely jealous of all these TRs from everyone still shredding in the states in July. Enjoy it you bastards.

Its all fun!
